Sample Web Courseware

Data Description's MediaDX technology can be used to build interactive high-quality training and education courses, or it can be integrated into an exciting web-delivered training environment. Either way, MediaDX creates an engaging and effective experience.

Here is a page you might find in a web-delivered course. Each of the icons launches an activity that plays in the MediaDX Web Viewer and demonstrates the capabilities of the technology. All these activities synchronize audio with actions on the screen. Many offer opportunities for user interaction.

And the MediaDX Authoring environment is designed for the efficient creation of content. This means that your training course can be created quickly and cost-effectively.

System Requirements:

Windows XP, Vista or Win7, Firefox 5 or higher, IE8 or 9 or higher with Sun's Java plug-in 6 or higher installed. Pop-ups must be enabled.

Mac OS 10.4 or 10.6 using Firefox 5 or higher, Safari 5 or higher.

If you have any questions or problems e-mail the webmaster.
